When the San Francisco Giants pay centerfielder Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes) $40 million to lead their team to the World Series, no one is happier or more supportive than #1 fan Gil Renard (Robert De Niro). So when Rayburn becomes mired in the worst slump of his career, the obsessed Renard stops at nothing to help his idol regain his former glory... not even murder. (Shock Entertainment)

Robert De Niro initially rejected this project, but Tony Scott spent a lot of time talking him into it. And that turned out to be a mistake on De Niro’s part. The Fan is a terrible thriller and the actor has an even more terrible role in it. If the screenplay is no good, then not even fancy camera filters can help.

Ridley Scott's direction is, as always, dynamic and his camera tricks look good, but the script in this case is very weak, and the story itself is actually nonsense. I didn't like Wesley Snipes at all (where is his charisma from the Blade series), and Robert De Niro has such a terrible role that the creators might not have been serious about it.
